A network administrator occasionally asks a technician to make sure that dust does not accumulate on devices in the network equipment closets. What is the purpose of having the technician do this job?
- Dust can cause network equipment to overheat and cause problems on the network.
- Dust increases electromagnetic interference in nearby connected cables.
- Dust can encourage insects and other pests to live in the equipment closets.
- Dust is considered a fire hazard that poses danger to personnel and equipment.
- Dust diminishes the range of wireless services.
Explanation: Dust can clog the cooling vents of network devices. Network equipment is sensitive to heat and may not operate properly or could be damaged by heat build-up.
